Farnam Home and Garden 14680 Starbar Captivator Fly Trap, (1.06 ounces or 30 grams)

The fly traps work so well I do not have to worry about have a patio full of flies.Cons:Use gloves when opening the sealed package this stuff smell so bad and you must use lemon juice to remove the smell from your hands. Washing does not work.Put the trap at least 20-30 feet from where you are or you will smell the attractant and it is not pleasant.

I bought one for our porch at home. It works amazing. This was after 3 weeks. The only issue I have with it is the smell. Naturally, that’s what the flies are attracted to so I tolerate it but it’s less annoying than being harassed by flies while trying to grill. Just don’t put it right by the door or where you’re sitting.

We love these. They really work i will definitely keep buying

These traps work great. The only downside is that the smell of the trap is worse than the annoyance of the flies. I would recommend placing the trap far away from where you plan to be, but also close enough for the flies in your area to be attracted to it.

We have backyard chickens and it is almost impossible to stay on top of sweeping all of the never ending chicken turds. If you have chickens you know what I mean. They poop nonstop. Ours eat tons of spinach and berries so they have liquid poops that flies will nest in. In the summer when it was hot we were constantly having flies inside from our dog going in and out and the back door being pushed open, and flies inside are disgusting. We tried to clean the poop daily, put diatomaceous earth on the poop immediately to dry it out, put up outdoor fly paper, etc. Nothing really helped at all. There were flies constantly on all of my plants, in the dirt, in the chicken coop despite regular cleanings, etc. so I bought this.I would highly suggest wearing disposable gloves when you fill it and to hang it securely high up enough that animals can’t get near it. We hung it at the top of our privacy fence, on a hook, as far away from our back door and garage as possible. Flies will be swarming around it and you might need to add extra water if you live somewhere hot or the water level doesn’t seem high enough to drown them after awhile. Even when ours was full of flies, I never noticed a terribly strong smell coming from it.The number of flies did die down quickly, though we did have to continue other preventive measures like cleaning up the chicken poop in the yard from them free ranging and keeping our coop clean. We also used Stall Dry and First Saturday Lime inside our coop and do the deep litter method, though we do scoop the poop tray beneath the roost where the hens poop at night every other day and put that old bedding in our yard waste because the poop builds up very quickly.It’s now winter time (we’re in the PNW and the winters are relatively mild.) We started having flies in our house again and I realized that the container was very full and a whitish layer was floating at the top that prevented the incoming flies from drowning, the container was almost totally full and it was time to replace it.I know you can buy new packets for the container, though attempting to clean it out was way more than I was willing to do and I really didn’t want my husband doing it and spilling it on himself, either. My husband very carefully, with gloves on, secured the container with the liquid/dead flies inside within multiple plastic bags so it couldn’t leak into our outdoor garbage can. I would suggest doing this away from your yard where your kids or pets play, our dog always tries to roll in stinky stuff so my husband did this at an abandoned lot since it’s easy to spill some of the stank.If you choose to clean the container out, you’re braver than me and I don’t have any tips. They are inexpensive enough and lasted us around 6 months so I think they’re worth just replacing entirely. If you have chickens, please don’t feed the dead flies to them. That is just disgusting and messed up to do to your hens. Flies are filthy creatures and I would never knowingly eat eggs that came from a chicken eating buckets of rancid, dead flies in stank juice.We would highly recommend this product if you have lots of dogs, chickens, horses or other animals that poop everywhere and attract flies. I saw some comments complaining that this product attracted all of the flies from the neighborhood. I didn’t find this to be the case and the flies In our yard quickly decreased after putting this product up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Does absolutely nothing to control my fly problem. I had flies near my garage cans which are close to my side door of garage. We placed this and in 12 hours nothing but flies going in and out. I spun the containers and watched the water swirl and a fly got trapped in the liquid. I spun it again several other times and in 2 days I have 3 flies I took some of the liquid and placed it in an empty liter and caught 3 flies w/o spinning it. This contraption has been useless since day 1.

It works. Well. Hundreds of flies. But, I think it draws more flies than I normally have. And, does nothing about flies in the house (bc it has to be outside). I think it increased my house flies bc there were more outside. Will not buy again,

It works just perfectly, a lot of fly catched in just one day. the design helps to do the work easy
